    Every Child a World Program

    At Durak Hazelnut, we believe that a sustainable supply chain is only possible when children are protected and their healthy development is ensured. Our “Every Child a World” Program offers protective measures, educational support, and social activities for children of seasonal agricultural worker families; it actively monitors the entire process from the field to the factory gate to prevent child labor.

    Activities carried out within the scope of the program:

    • Child labor risk assessments
    • Information meetings for producer families
    • Education, social support, and guidance activities
    • Directing children to safe areas
    • On-site monitoring system to prevent child labor


    This program is one of the fundamental building blocks of Durak Hazelnut's vision to create a human rights-sensitive, inclusive, and responsible supply chain.

    Our Every Child a World report is published within the sustainability report as of 2024.

    Child Labor Prevention Policy

    At Durak Hazelnut, we operate on a "Zero Tolerance" principle. All our producers, business partners, and field teams share a common responsibility for the complete prevention of child labor.

    Our policy is based on the following principles:

    • Effective complaint mechanism
    • Regular risk analyses
    • Family information meetings
    • Education-focused field support activities
